4.2 Payments of PLP

Introduction

PLP is funded by the Australian Government out of consolidated revenue. In most cases the eligible person's employer will provide their PLP after being funded by the Australian Government to do so. Centrelink will provide PLP directly to eligible claimants who do not receive it from their employer.

The Australian Government acknowledges Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples throughout Australia and their continuing connection to land, water, culture and community. We pay our respects to the Elders both past and present.
